low alloyed steel with high yield strength and high stress fracture resistance in the presence of sulfide, product made of steel, casing pipe, production pipe, riser, drill string and drill collar

摘要

A steel contains, by weight: C: 0.3% to 0.5%, Si: 0.1% to 0.5%, Mn: 0.1% to 1%, P: 0.03% or less, S: 0.005% or less, Cr: 0.3% to 1.5%, Mo: 1.0% to 1.5%, Al: 0.01% to 0.1%, V: 0.03% to 0.06%, Nb: 0.04% to 0.15%, Ti: 0 to 0.015%, N: 0.01% or less, the remainder of the chemical composition of the steel being constituted by Fe and impurities or residuals resulting from or necessary to steel production and casting processes. The steel enables to produce seamless tubes with a yield strength after heat treatment of 862 MPa or more which are particularly SSC-resistant.
